CECAN Centre for Evaluating Complexity Across the Nexus

A new report showcases NCRM's wide-ranging impact over the past five years, including the training of more than 14,000 researchers. The Impact Assessment Report 2020-2025 shows how NCRM has improved researchers’ skills and knowledge, enabling them to conduct research that benefits society. Using surveys, case studies and other forms of user feedback, the report highlights the ways in which NCRM has supported people at different career stages in a variety of disciplines and sectors. This feedback includes the finding that, after taking part in NCRM training, 94 per cent of responding participants said they had applied their learning to their work.

NCRM is inviting researchers to contribute to its unique new event, the Research Methods Rendezvous. The two-day, online event will provide attendees with the opportunity to present ideas for new research and develop them with other researchers. It is designed to be a source of inspiration, a research incubator and a networking opportunity for researchers at all career stages. The rendezvous will take place on 10 September and 29 October 2025, with a seven-week interval between the dates providing time to collaborate on the discussed projects.
